YEAR BEGAN COLLECTING: SINCE I WAS SIX YEARS OLD.
SHELVING SYSTEM: BY GENRE, THEN AUTHOR. SIGNED COPIES BY AUTHOR. IN SOME ROOMS, THEY ARE SHELVED BY WHEN READ. I ADDED ON TO MY HOUSE TO ADD MORE SPACE FOR BOOKS. UNREAD BOOKS IN DRAWER.
NUMBER OF COPIES: 725+
NUMBER OF SIGNED COPIES: 42
FAVORITES: BOOKS FROM CHILDHOOD; RICK BRAGG BOOKS, BOOKS WITH TICKETS AND OTHER TREASURES INSIDE; BOOKS BOUGHT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
FAVORITE PART OF HAVING SIGNED BOOKS: THAT CLOSER CONNECTION TO THE AUTHOR AND THE JOY OF GIFTING WHEN THE RECIPIENT SEES THAT THEY HAVE A SIGNED COPY.
